1
Then Job answered and said,
(KJV)
Job
9
:
2
I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
3
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
4
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
5
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
6
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
7
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
8
Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
(KJV)

9
:
9
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
(KJV)

9
:
10
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
11
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
12
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
13
If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
14
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
15
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
16
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
17
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
18
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
19
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
20
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
21
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
22
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
(KJV)

23
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
(KJV)

9
:
24
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
25
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
26
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
27
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
(KJV)
Job
9
:
28
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
29
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
(KJV)
Job
9
:
30
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
(KJV)
Job
9
:
31
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
32
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
(KJV)
Job
9
:
33
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
(KJV)

9
:
34
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
(KJV)
Job
9
:
35
Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
